Woodstock Chimes Introduces New Chakra Chimes Line
Shokan, N.Y. — Woodstock Chimes®, a leading manufacturer of precision-tuned windchimes, utilized the New York International Gift Fair as the platform to debut a multitude of new products, including its line of Woodstock Chakra Chimes™. The tranquil chimes combine color and sound to underscore the ancient meaning of the major energy centers of the human body, as identified by traditional Indian medicine. The Woodstock Chakra Chimes were created to remind individuals of the strength of using mind over matter — through sound, they provide a small window into the balance of the physical and metaphysical.
“Throughout Woodstock’s 30-year history, we have always believed in creating an environment of serenity through sound,” says Woodstock CEO, Garry Kvistad. “The Chakra Chimes melodic tones not only provide calmness to any surrounding environment, but also pay tribute to the concept of cleansing one’s soul of bad energies.”
According to Chakra traditions, there are seven basic chakras, which correlate to the seven main nerve groupings originating from the spinal cord. Each Chakra location has a unique meaning, orientation and healing potential. The new chimes focus on four of the seven Chakras, with each windcatcher featuring a colorful stone associated with its particular Chakra.
The Woodstock Chakra Chimes’ represent the following four Chakras:
* Woodstock Chakra Chimes, Amethyst — the amethyst chime represents the Crown Chakra. When developed, the Crown Chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss. Amethyst enhances peace of mind and bestows stability, strength and contentment.
* Woodstock Chakra Chimes, Aventurine — the aventurine chime represents the Heart Chakra. The Heart Chakra is in the center and as such, it is the integrator of opposites. Aventurine enhances creativity and balances the intellectual, emotional and physical.
* Woodstock Chakra Chimes, Red Coral — the red coral chime represents the Base Chakra. Located at the base of the spine, the Base Chakra forms our foundation and brings health, prosperity and security.
* Woodstock Chakra Chimes, Turquoise — the turquoise chime represents the Throat Chakra. The Throat Chakra involves communication, sound and creativity.
Each chime features six silver anodized aluminum rods, ash wood-finish detail and genuine stone accents. The chimes range from 16.5 inches to 17.5 inches in length and all retail for $20.00.
